Damn man, new motor already?!?!? In an '11?? What happen???? If you know, that is.

Suspect that it is a bent rod plate or a bad rod bearing. :-/ Obviously an issue from factory because I've heard those engines can take a beating. Good thing? My car starts over at zero miles...essentially

As for the 335d, ugh I am dying. I have to use my pinky toe when driving my 11 335i...with the 335d, I feel like my foot is about to go through the floor and I'll be Fred Flintstone'ing my ass around town. Not sure if all 335d's are like that, or just this one, but it seems like it takes a LOT to get it going and it sounds like a big rig :-/ There isn't that "growl" to the engine that the 335i has.
